Configuring ratpoison

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi,

I installed Ratpoison along with the Strychnine and tried to 
follow the
guidelines. While this seems to be a great offering, I seem to 
have
issues with the ALT+F1 menu: it does not start the main menu. I 
removed
the qemu.desktop from the /usr/share/applications, but still Orca 
does
not announce the menu.

Any hints on how else to proceed?
